Description
Studio West is an exciting studio school which opened in September 2014.

As part of Northern Leaders Trust, Studio West caters for around 550 students aged between 11 and 19, with student numbers increasing year on year.

We are expected to reach 650 at full capacity.

Rated "Good" by Ofsted, Studio West offers students an innovative and bespoke curriculum with an emphasis on employability and life skills.

We have close working relationships with our business partners, and our mission is to make sure that every student who leaves Studio West does so with a university place, an apprenticeship or employment.


The ethos of Studio West is enshrined in 'Learning that connects.' The principle that learning must constantly connect school with the real world is at the very core of everything we do.

Project-based learning runs through the veins of our curriculum, and our assessment is seamless from Key Stages Three to Four.


We use the full range of work-related learning and career progression alongside academic prowess to prepare students for university, an apprenticeship, further training and employment - tailored to the needs of the individual.


Graded as 'Good' by Ofsted in early 2019, we know the key to our success is having a strong team committed to the ethos of the school with the skills, dedication and passion to motivate and instil high expectations in every student to achieve their potential.


We are seeking an outstanding practitioner to join our leadership team who will lead by example and demonstrate best practice in all aspects of teaching and learning, assessment and behaviour for learning.

If you are the person we are looking for, you will be able to demonstrate:

  • A thorough understanding of the local and national issues surrounding the provision of secondary education and the ability to combine interpersonal, negotiation and influencing skills with professional credibility to positively engage all school stakeholders.
  • A relentless drive and absolute commitment to our core aim of ensuring that all students within our school achieve their potential, whatever their barriers, background, social status, gift or need.
  • A proven track record of effectively leading a department or significant curriculum/leadership area.
  • The ability to take an active role in collaboration across the Trust.
  • Experience driving performance improvements in that area or the wider school.
  • An ability to think and act strategically with sensitivity to organisational and wider political priorities to deliver highquality outcomes.
  • An ability to present views and opinions in discussion which contribute to positive outcomes including the ability to challenge, give feedback and accept feedback constructively.
  • A proven track record of people, resource and financial management.
  • An ability to demonstrate high expectations and to instil these in others.
  • An unfaltering work ethic and resilience and commitment to the studio school ethos.
If you have the skills, commitment and enthusiasm to succeed in this role, we want to hear from you.

In return, we can offer you:

  • Access to the Teachers' Pension Scheme.
  • Access to the cycletowork salary sacrifice scheme.
  • Access to free gym facilities on our Kenton School site
  • The opportunity to work in a fantastically resourced school with easy commuting access to both the A1 and A19, in a supportive team committed to the development of all our staff.

Closing date: 9am on 22nd May 2023

Interview date: 24th May 2023
